Take a Line for A Walk - Free Art Making for All Ages
On March 15, six blank canvases will be hung on the walls at Feilding Art Centre. We need your help to transform them into beautiful, colourful works of art…simply by picking up a pastel and taking a line for a walk.
How does it work? Simply join us on one of our ‘Painting Days’ – Each Saturday from 19 March to 9 April, pick a colour that makes you smile, and add it to whichever canvas is being worked on that day. As visitors come and go, the canvas will change, be worked and reworked, then hung back on the wall for the public to enjoy.
Finished works will be sold at a silent auction on Thursday April 14, and exhibited through to April 19.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
